Course

Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) are programming languages that are tailored to a particular application domain. This essential focus of DSLs allows one to write more concise and understandable programs, with tight stakeholder integration, and, when done properly, to improve code quality. The course will feature the current state of the art in both the design and implementation of DSLs. The course will emphasize the different design dimensions of DSLs, the involved language paradigms and features, and the drawbacks with respect to simple API modeling.

Programming skills are essential but not enough to develop large and complex software systems that require the coordination of a team of specialists. Software engineering is about the development of such moderns software systems. Students will learn to go beyond programming, to coordinate a team, to apply modern methodologies and techniques.

The first of the ateliers, which are a crucial part of our Bachelor curriculum is roughly divided into three main pieces. On the one hand the students will obtain first-hand experience with a variety of tools of the trade, such as LaTeX, HTML, Versioning, and the unix shell. Second, the students will get an overview of the history of computer science since its very beginning up to the present day. The third part of the atelier is dedicated to a group project, in which students will put into practice what they learned in the course.

Software engineering is the discipline of engineering large software systems, that is developing software systems that are available in multiple versions and whose design, development and maintenance involve multiple people. Modern software engineering requires to manage methods, tools and techniques to develop systems on time and on schedule. The course provides the fundamental skills to engineer large software systems, manage a software process, elicit, specify and analyze software requirements, architect and design dependable and maintainable software, validate and verify software systems.
